This morning and afternoon, Mark brought two sets of campers around from the Recycle Cycles bike camp. Each group arrived by public transit which kept us on a tight schedule.
The kids have been learning about bike maintenance and repair all week. Today, the plan was to try out some of the unusual bikes in the rental collection and to see how frames can be welded together.
They brought around this cool candelabra made by Kari at Recycle Cycles as a gift.
Thanks a lot guys. I think we all had a good time!
Today was the Commuter Challenge at WLU. The Commuter Challenge is a national program that aims to increase awareness of the benefits of sustainable commuting and to encourage Canadians to take action by walking, cycling, taking transit, carpooling or tele-working instead of driving alone to get to work. This year, Laurier wanted to focus on how alternative transportation can contribute to environmental wellness, but also can improve personal wellness. They also thought it would be fun to have the couchbike out to draw attention to the cause.
